Finally Found Indian #1

Postby Zig » Sat Oct 26, 2013 9:19 pm

$8,270 of Pennies Sorted = 827,000 Pennies = 1 Indian Found

Best pic I could get. 1865 is hardly readable, but through a magnifier it is for sure.

I am hoping #2 doesn't take near as long.

That's one that hasn't spent any time as a captive in a Whitman album :clap:

Long drought over!
From hence ye beauties undeceived, know one false step is ne'er retrieved
and be with caution bold.
Not all that tempts your wandering eyes and heedless hearts is lawful prize,
nor all that glistens gold.

Coin-grats Ziggy, may you find your next 2 before the one million mark.
I'm impressed by how old it is!

Congrats. Great find. I've not found any Indians yet. I've got a pile of 1930's wheats and one steel 1943, but no Indian Heads.

Nice. It's really crusty, but 1865 sure is an impressive date. I only have 2 and they're both from the 80s or 90s.
267,500 pennies and 186,000 nickels searched. Hand sorter.

Just got my 4 IH tonight after about 6k to 7K face sorted lifetime. It was a 1906P nothing special. Best I ever found was and 1861 I think, I'd have to look at my coin collection.

Congratulations.

Found my first at around the 25,000 mark. I'm right where you are and haven't found another one since. Hope we each find more prosperity soon.
Don't look back. Something may be gaining on you.

Neither a penny or a nickel is worth face value anymore.

I'm just a poor wayfaring stranger.
